Hello, I am trying to install freedos to my hard drive. I have a P4/800 Mhz machine with 512 Mb of RAM. I ran through the install but I'm not sure I did everything right. I'm installing via a serial console. The console is a PC Weasel card. The PC Weasel acts like a video card except that it puts out characters to a serial card on the card (not the syste serial port). I am doing this because I'm blind.
Anyway, I installed freedos to my HD but it crashes when I try to boot from the HD. It looks like it crashes trying to load the CDROM driver. I was able to capture the content of the screen via the serial console: FreeDOS HIMEM64 3.26 [Aug 25 2006] (c) 1995, Till Gerken 2001-2006 tom ehlert HIMEM - KBC A20 method used EMM386 2.26 [Aug 25 2006] (c) tom ehlert 2001-2006 c't/H.
